Hi,
Your problem can be most likely due to allergy. For this, I would suggest antihistamines like Cetirizine and short course of Corticosteroids like Deflazacort for 1 week duration. Cetirizine is available as over the counter. Deflazacort is is a prescription drug.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
